In Short – Bordering Piazza Basilone is this quanit bistro open all day. Inside the tan brick walls and open windows are family-sized booths and a full bar. The breakfast menu presents standard egg, pancake and potato combinations, while lunch and dinner options offer a mix of Italian, Latin and American influences. Saucy appetizers like chile relleno and artichoke gratin start the menu; entrees include lobster ravioli, tequila lime chicken and seared salmon. – –

Best caprese I've had to date!!
by souffle1976 at Citysearch
A friend and I toke the trolley from our hotel and stumbled across Zia's Bistro after hitting up the Irish pub down the street. We just ordered appetizers. The bread was very tasty, we had two baskets and the caprese was delicious. We also shared calamari and for the first time in history I ate the little guys. I could'nt believe it. The dipping sauce is so tasty I think we dipped our bread in it. Very tasty!!
- Pros: Caprese and location
Great Food and Service

We dined outside, service was quick. Appetizers and entree's were great. They have very good size portions. Good atmosphere, really good value for the price. They have live music (we were there on a thursday). Try it versus some of the more crowded places in Little Italy.
